Benefit Instant Comeback Facial Serum Review

Does this work? Nooooooooo! I LOVE Benefit's Skincare Collection (currently using and loving it), but I have NO LOVE for their Instant Comeback Facial Serum. It comes in a pretty bottle, applies beautifully, but that is where the magic stops. Once applied, it feels heavy & sticky on the skin. Not a good feeling. It doesn't blend or work well with makeup. So you can't use it during the day. It's suppose to plump, hydrate, firm, smooth and energize tired skin. It didn't for me! I've tried this both morning & night since December and nada (nothing). No miracles. No comeback. No bounce back. No fountain of youth. No genie in a bottle. Save your money. Do you use serums? Any recommendations?

I never use this product or even look at it so I appreciate your review when I see it in Sephora I will just walk by Thank you . One of my follower uses Neutrogena Serum she rave how it works and was happy her line diminish as per her review, I do not use serum.

Oh noes! Sorry to hear this one's no good, Kim:( I love serums myself, and the one I've been recommending to people is the Vichy LiftActiv one. I also heard great things about the Kate Sommerville one but haven't tried it yet.

I love your honesty, Kim and thank you for the heads up on this, I absolutely adore serum and was hoping to get this once my current ones run out. I'm currently bouncing between 3 serums, Korres, Strivectin and Rodial. What can I say, I'm a serum addict. :-P

too bad this didn't work for you!!! I've never tried it. The serum I've been using right now is kind of sticky feeling too, so I only use it at night. And then I use my night cream over top of it and it takes away the sticky and feels great. Maybe try using it with your moisturizer and see how it goes?

I always respect your honesty when you write your reviews Kim. This serum doesn't sound like it would appeal to me either if it feels sticky and heavy on the skin. I've been a fan of Clinique's Reparwear Laser Focus for quite a long time now and it really feels good on the skin.

I'm always skeptical of serums because they promise miracles. The only one I've ever had deliver was one that treated adult acne - the rest are all hocus pocus as far as I can tell. And based on your review, it sounds like I'm right.xox,Cee

oh, Benefit what a shame. Somehow I have developed dislike to this brand. Not sure why, maybe because most of the products I have tried have been no worth any hype and usually at the counter works I woulds say unprofessional people. I hope you can be able to return this product.xoxo Ramona

Too bad this didn't work for you. I use serums religously because my skin gets dehydrated with the change of seasons here. During the week I use the Chanel Le Blanc Brightening TXC and during the Weekend, I use the Chanel Le Weekend. I love them both especially the Le Weekend. I highly recommending the Chanel Serums. Their Hydra Beauty Serum has excellent reviews too.

I have always loved Benefit Cosmetics but never tried their skincare for some odd reason. Good serum can be difficult to come across. Most of the brand I tried either didn't provide enough moisture or was too greasy. What a bummer, Kim. Booo to this serum.

Ah Kim, everytime you did a bad review you made me smile as I totally love how you are honest and fun at the same time. What a shame, for sure it is a waste of money! I have a passion for serums you know, at the moment Im using a plain one from Nivea, it is good and works. Have a lovely weekend Kim, hugs! xo

This does not sound good at all! I have not tried any Benefit skin care, but I will steer clear of this one if I decide to give it a try. Thank you for being so honest!xoxo Lauren | Will Sing For Makeup

Thanks for the review! I use the Soap & Glory "Make Yourself Youthful" serum and really love it. Can tell a big difference in my skin when I use it vs. when I don't, and get compliments on my complexion. It's light and works perfectly under makeup. Highly recommend.
